Abstract—Laser beam forming is a novel technique developed for the joining of metallic components. In this study, an overview of the laser beam forming process,the basic mechanisms of the laser beam forming process, some recent researchstudies and the need to focus more research effort on designing a manually operated fixture for laser forming process is presented.
